Hungry, Thirsty, Infested With Parasites….
|
|
That was the condition of
eight cats Pasado’s Safe Haven found living in squalor just miles from
the sanctuary. A case manager for a man being evicted from his home
contacted Pasado’s rescue team shortly after they came upon the horrid
scene. Pasado’s Safe Haven's Humane Investigator, Angel L., assessed the situation and
immediately entered into discussions with the owner to sign his animals
over to Pasado’s so they could be taken to the sanctuary and receive the
medical treatment they needed. |

the eight cats rescued
by Pasado's from a life of neglect. |

Angel and Deborah A.,
Pasado’s Safe Haven's Kitty City Caretaker, came back with live traps and face masks and
entered the premises. The stench was overwhelming, the sites beyond
belief. There was garbage strewn everywhere, feces and urine caked on
every surface, but no sign of cat food or water.
These cats lived in dangerously filthy conditions.

Once back at the
sanctuary, all of the cats received a medical check-up and were treated
for fleas, tick and worms. Some had to receive fluids to treat
dehydration. Seven cats were unaltered and will be sterilized when they
have fully recovered. |
Magoo will live to see
better days. |
Otis is now getting the
medical attention he needs.

Unfortunately, this situation is becoming more and more common as people
lose their jobs and their homes. If Pasado’s was not there to receive
the call from the case workers, the chances of giving these animals a
second chance would be unlikely. More than ever, Pasado’s is being
called upon to step in to help abandoned pets and neglected animals.

Snuggles is
still a little scared, but safe and warm.
